    There's gotta be a code in there somewhere, but a cheap OBDII scanner may not be able to read a transmission code. For $150 or less I'm sure you can get a reader from an auto parts store that reads engine/brake/transmission codes though... Or hit up a dealer for a bit of diagnostics time.

    Welcome aboard!

    Definitely check for stored codes. Even the cheapest of readers will show DTC "P0700" (merely means a TCM-related DTC is presently stored) if any code is present. A more capable reader/scanner is needed to identify the actual code. In almost every case, the SES lamp should be on if there is a significant code present (affects drivability, including limp mode).

    I've had a p0700 previously, but just shut it down and started it up. Hasn't happened since (about 4 years).

    I would definitely get that into a shop (or if you're competent with a code reader etc do it yourself).

    Something is definitely not right. One thing I like about the edge module is that it includes a basic code reader / reset which is always plugged in and ready to go!

    I'm assuming you've checked your fluids and nothings low etc and all that obvious stuff.

    I hope it's something simple!

    the #7 injector... Way back against the firewall.
    I wonder if whoever did the job either knocked an electrical connector loose or had to unplug one to gain access but forgot to plug something back in?

    #7 is the rearmost on the passenger side of the engine.

    When was the transmission last serviced (mileage on current service)? Otherwise, I agree with others here. Have the codes read. It'll help narrow the possibilities.

    Would strongly suggest that as well.
